overdue. how many days after due date one can wait before opting for induction

I am curious to know how long can one wait on a no complication healthy pregnancy before one go for induction. With my first I wanted to wait but my doc discouraged me and I went or induction 4 days after due date. This time. Want to go all natural and getting induced is not part of the plan. I want to k ow how long have u Waite and what was the result

I was induced with all of mine 1st at 8 days over, 2nd at 9 days over and 3rd at 10 days over. Make sure you are monitored carefully, I nearly lost my 3rd baby because I went too far over, I had her and the placenta was so deteriorated, my OB said she wouldn't have survived another day inside. It was my OBs choice to push me so far past my due date and he wanted me to go until 12 days over but I refused thankfully. I'm not trying to scare you, just make sure they are monitoring you and the baby carefully, my OB didn't at all.

My midwives said they will start doing NSTs and BPPs at 41 weeks and are really reluctant to let anyone go past 42 weeks, even if everything looks good. But they also said that it's really rare for anyone to actually make it to 42 weeks without spontaneous labor.

I went 5 days over with first and my second I was 10 days over. I was told with second that if I got to 12 days I would have to be induced. They do normally try a stretch and sweep before inducing though which is what I had and went into labour the next day. Over here they used to let you go upto 4 weeks overdue which is ridiculous and I know someone who lost a baby because of this but now thankfully its 2 weeks and then baby has to come out whether it wants to or not!! But you will (hopefully) find the longer you go over the more attention they'll pay to make sure baby is still healthy!

With my 9 year old i went 12 days past my due date. I was due may 10th and I was induced on the 21st but he was so stubborn he didn't come out Til late the 22nd... They prefer u to go into labor naturally before they induce

Yeah it's the same in the US as in the UK . Once you hit 42 weeks they say it's dangerous for the mom and baby . Just make sure they are monitoring everything right, walk a lot, and try to relax. You can also get your practitioner to strip your membranes if they haven't already . My OB said that if baby is ready to come after doing that then labor will start in 24 to 48 hours so you could ask about that. To answer the question though it normally 42 weeks

I went close to 2 weeks over but had stress test at one week over. Then induced at 10 days over plus two days of labor. I've known babies with problems from going too far over. My baby was huge! Had a c section.

I was due on the 14 th of June, I was induced on the 22 nd and had my baby girl on the 23 by emergency c section, she got stuck on the canal. They wanted me to wait the full 10 days but she wasn't doing her practice breathing, and I was bleeding a bit too much from being stretched to 3 cm the day before

With my first I went 9 days over and was induced with gel only (no other intervention required), and my second I went 7 days over and she came herself (just last week). She had swallowed maconium so as soon as her head was out, my obstetrician suctioned the fluid from her, then I pushed the rest of her out (medication free so very painful). Sure it may have happened had she arrived at 38 or 39 weeks, but a greater risk at 41 it greater. I was scheduled to be induced the day she came as the risks beyond 41 weeks was too great for me (personal decision)

My first was due sept 25th and came october 3rd, so 9 days over but labour started naturally and lasted 12 hours. (it really was an estimated due date as i didn't know when i conceived). With my second i was due 15th of june, water broke at 11pm on the 16th and delivered 3 hours later at 1.47am on the 17th :)
